The Zurich gallery presents ‘The Age of Pleasure’, Miles Aldridge’s first solo show in Switzerland. In addition to photographs from the past ten years, Christophe Guye promised to show new work. And since we love intense colours and dramatic compositions à la David Lynch and Federico Fellini, we accepted the invitation and met both photographer and gallery owner for the exclusive viewing shortly before the official opening with brilliant blue skies in the gallery not far from Lake Zurich.

Christophe and Miles greeted us cheerfully and recorded a little GoSee video message together – and they even posed for a selfie with us on their own phones. His meticulously crafted photographs usually show pretty women in cinematic action scenes. These occur mostly on set or on location in London. Do the grey skies ever get on his nerves? Miles told GoSee that when it’s grey he can think best.

In addition to his photographs the London fashion photographer also had his book ‘I Only Want You To Love Me’, published by Rizzoli, with him. All of Zurich came to the opening and book signing where you could really see the master in action during the film screening and the subsequent after party at Club Gainsbourg - at least on screen that is. His making-of videos provide a glimpse behind the scenes of the elaborate and lovingly detailed sets.

We were more than pleasantly surprised at so much craftsmanship and thus we present three of his films here on GoSee. Since Miles produced music videos before his photography career, we secretly hope that his scenes transfer to moving images soon.


About - Miles Aldridge
Born in North London to graphic designer Alan Aldridge, Miles grew up inured to celebrity - John Lennon was a family friend, as well as Eric Clapton and Elton John.[1] When he was a kid, he posed with his father for Lord Snowdon. At the age of 12, Alan Aldridge moved to Los Angeles where he formed a new family. Miles stayed in London with his mother Rita, a housewife, and his sister Saffron Aldridge. He studied Illustration at the Central St Martins to follow his father's steps, afterwards briefly directed pop videos before moving into photography by chance. He sent some photos of an aspiring model girlfriend to an agency and fell into fashion when British Vogue called him as well as her. By then he'd hung out on shoots with his sister and traveled to New York in the mid-nineties where he started working almost immediately.Initially Aldridge shot covers of the American monthly fashion magazine W, then he worked for Numéro, Teen Vogue, Vogue Nippon, The New York Times Magazine, GQ, The New Yorker, The Face, Paradis and Harper's Bazaar. For many years he has been an important contributor for Vogue Italia, building a solid friendship with Franca Sozzani. (Wikipedia) milesaldridge.com
